Rocket Fortress

Ready to Play

Rocket Fortress

Your fortress stands as the last shield against a mutant armada. Build layered defenses, monitor radar pings, and fire precision rockets that streak across the battlefield. Every wave intensifies the assault, pushing you to optimize build orders and unleash explosive counterattacks.

What is Rocket Fortress? A Strategic Defense Hybrid

Rocket Fortress blends tower defense planning with hands-on shooting. You command a fortified base under siege and must juggle three priorities: construct support structures, upgrade weapons, and manually launch rockets to thin the horde. Instead of watching towers act on their own, you aim every strike, timing shots to shatter clustered foes or interrupt charging elites. Between waves you collect scrap to rebuild damaged walls and unlock stronger modules. The rhythm alternates between intense firefights and planning phases where you optimize the layout. Because every resource is virtual, experimentation is encouraged. Try aggressive loadouts that focus on splash rockets or defensive platforms that slow enemies before your turrets finish the job.

How to Play: Secure the Stronghold

Use WASD or the mouse to pan around your fortress and inspect incoming threats before they reach the walls.

Click on empty tiles to place new walls, turrets, or support structures that shape the battlefield to your advantage.

Monitor your resource counter and invest scrap into upgrades that boost rocket damage, reload speed, or automated defenses.

Aim with the mouse and left-click to launch rockets, leading targets slightly so explosions land at peak efficiency.

Repair damaged segments between waves by selecting the hammer tool and clicking on any structure that flashes red.

Trigger special abilities such as shield bursts or airstrikes when elite monsters appear to prevent catastrophic breaches.

Rotate through mission objectives and optional raids to earn bonus scrap that accelerates your tech tree progression.

Return regularly to collect offline rewards, then spend them on new modules before tackling harder wave tiers.

Key Features: Engineer, Launch, and Survive

Modular Base Construction

Place walls, barriers, and support modules to channel enemies into kill zones. Each structure influences line of sight, turret coverage, and how quickly you can respond to breaches.

Guided Rocket Arsenal

Aim rockets manually to intercept monsters before they reach your perimeter. Swap between explosive shells, piercing missiles, and area denial payloads that suit different enemy types.

Persistent Upgrade Tree

Invest resources into power output, reload speed, auto turrets, shield emitters, and scrap efficiency. Smart upgrades can double your damage output or save precious seconds during repairs.

Escalating Wave Design

Enemy swarms evolve with new resistances, leap attacks, and boss-scale juggernauts. Surviving late waves requires a balanced mix of automated defenses and precise rocket fire.

Rocket Fortress FAQ

Which upgrades should I prioritize?

Early on, focus on rocket power and reload speed. As waves intensify, invest in auto turrets, shield emitters, and repair efficiency to keep the fortress stable.

How do repairs work?

Between waves you can spend scrap to patch damaged walls and modules. Ignoring repairs makes future threats much harder to contain.
